总统巴拉克·奥巴马就乌干达总统约韦里·穆塞韦尼 (YoweriMuseveni)颁布反同性恋发出警告,称这将使得两国关系复杂化。
Under the proposed legislation, thoseconvicted of homosexual acts could face life imprisonment.
The law would also make it a crime not toreport gay people.

宣扬同性恋者——甚至在谈及同性恋时未表示谴责态度的人也被处以监禁。
The private member’s bill originallyproposed the death penalty for some offences, such as if a minor was involvedor the perpetrator was HIV-positive, but that clause has been dropped.
由下院议员通过的法案最初提议死刑只适用于某些同性恋者,例如未成年人和艾滋病病毒呈阳性的病毒携带者。不过这一条款已经被终止了。
Ugandaalready has legislation banning gay sex between men, but the proposed lawsharply tightens restrictions – and covers lesbians for the first time.
乌干达已经出台了禁止男性之间同性性行为的法规,但是新法案加大了约束力度——首次将女同性恋者也涵盖在内。
The USis one of Uganda’slargest foreign aid donors, and in 2011 a small number of American troops weresent to help the Ugandan military fight the rebel Lord’s Resistance Army.
美国是乌干达最大的外援国之一。2011年,美国派遣了一小拨美军援助乌干达军队同反叛武装”圣灵抵抗军”作战。
But President Obama, who once referred tothe proposed law as “odious”, says this relationship will become morecomplicated if it is approved, describing it as an affront, and a danger to,Uganda’s gay community.
但总统奥巴马表示,如果法案得以通过,两国的关系将更加复杂化。总统奥巴马曾认为该法案面目“可憎”,并将形容它对乌干达同性恋群体具有冒犯性和危害性。

美国国家安全顾问苏珊·赖斯在推特上表示,她于周六晚同乌干达总统穆塞韦尼进行了详尽地交谈,力劝他不要签署法案。

由于注意到关于俄罗斯和尼日利亚多地同性恋者掀起暴力和骚乱的报道层出不穷,总统奥巴马在声明中并未吝啬对乌干达的批评。
